NSW University did a study on State Rail drivers and signalmen in the
late 80s/early 90s. I understand it found that most die within a few
years of retiring. I don't know the reasons why though .... maybe those
that did had nothing to do after working shiftwork 12 days a fortnight
for 40 years.

Has anyone seen this study?
